Imagine deleting Spotify because your music taste gave you the ick 🤣 Searches for “Delete Spotify” have jumped 231% after Spotify Wrapped dropped. But are people cringing at their own music or how others might judge us? The pressure to listen to “cool” music is intense, even with over 20 million tracks at our fingertips. But here’s the thing: What is “cool” music anymore? (shout out to anyone who managed to miss Brat summer). With algorithms driving discovery and niche genres thriving, musical taste has never been more fragmented. The era of universal trends is over, and the so-called “uncool” music often builds the strongest communities. So, why cringe? Embrace your playlists. That “guilty pleasure” might just be someone else’s favourite song. What’s the one track on your Wrapped you’d proudly or reluctantly admit to? Let’s celebrate it in the comments. #SpotifyWrapped #MusicCulture #DigitalTrends

Creative pro-tip of the day: Make sure you're taking micro-risks (or bigger ones) with everything you make. This is especially true if you're working within a format you know well; mindful risk-taking helps make sure your creative output is something real and living, and not just a clone of what you've done before. In my own work, the deeper I get into small ensemble chamber music, the more I feel the need to do something adventurous - overtly or subtly - with each piece. For this track, that meant experimenting with a rawer, denser, and more cathartic closing cello passage than I'd ever tried before. I'd be honored for you to hear the results: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eTExjZZ5 Amazon Music: https://lnkd.in/euahRVPp Apple Music: https://lnkd.in/erJwue_J

If you’re waiting for a label to sign and release your music, you’re putting your future on hold ⏸️ 63% of my total Spotify streams (44,000,000+) come from tracks I released myself. Out of my top 10 Spotify tracks, 7 were self-released (with those 7 alone accounting for over 21,000,000 of my total streams) Starting my own label, GLITTER COWBOY, changed everything. It let me release music on my own terms, build momentum, and grow my fanbase. If I had waited for other labels, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Don’t wait for someone else to give you permission. Start your own label, release your music, and take control of your future. 🚀 Feel free to DM me for guidance on how you can do the same!

Wouldn’t it be amazing to see which playlists we listened to the most on Spotify Wrapped? 🎧 Every year, Spotify Wrapped surprises us with fun stats about our music taste like top artists, songs, and genres. But wouldn’t it be a game-changer to know which playlists shaped our listening habits the most? Whether it’s a personally curated vibe, a collaborative playlist with friends, or Spotify’s mixes, playlists often define how we connect with music. This could bring Spotify Wrapped to a whole new level and connecting listeners even deeper to the memories tied to their favorite playlists. What do you think? Would you love to see this feature in the future? #SpotifyWrapped

I was trying to create an activation concept for Spotify. The idea was relatively simple, that music is technically the reflection of one's persona and personality- so why not use it to drive a campaign? An activation where music becomes the first ice breaker, you enter the booth from one side while the other person from the other side and your pick of the song becomes the ice breaker for both you. To showcase this visually I used mirrors as the centric element, with a headphone that goes towards both sides-showcasing that music connects beyond words. What do you think, would this concept work and what other ways can we execute it? #spotify #concept #events #ideas #music
